Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
I am convinced that these teachings are what kids should get, not the garbage pile of education in America's public schools now.
True. train up a child the way he should go
So very true mental health is spiritual health and unfortunately our education system no longer wants to lead us from Platos cave freethinking is a threat to tyranny ♡
And a version for simple minds & children. Not everyone can be a scholar.
I concur!
American public schools do teach this. It's funny you mention that because it's Republicans who cut programs that would fund "teachings" like this.
Thank you Hillsdale, very few left in this land ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you Hillsdale. God Bless.
I am so thankful for these videos! Round table discussion should be in every classroom.
State of the soul that arises from the choices that you make - Just WOW
💛💙♥️ Thank you for keeping the discussion going 💚🧡💜
Wonderful!!!
I'm taking the entire course now. It's fascinating.
How to get this course
God bless America.
Amen!
America is a Pure Evil
Thank you for these timeless teachings.
What a great opportunity to be in such an awesome class! I am definitely taking the course at age 60!
Thank you! I’ve started a few classes, and already I’ve learned so much! Even this short video is wonderfully instructive!Onward and upward 🙂
It is invaluable content available to people who want genuine wisdom! Thank you
I like the way this speaks of non-positive thinking. Due to the popularity of positive thinking ('at all costs'), a lot of people come to anything convinced that if they don't think they can do a thing, they won't be able to do it-- which is a terrible attitude to labour under. Of course, if you don't think you can do a thing, sometimes you can, anyhow. (And, of course, you may think you can do a thing, and find that you cannot do it-- or not yet.) And, as stated in the video, you grow from that experience.
Maybe its just my quirk, but I feel tremendously reassured by the idea that you are free to try without expectations of success, without dooming yourself to failure.
Thank you for some valuable insights!
This video is well made, Content, Camera angle, audio, background music, It's an inspiration
I use these reading to supplement my attitude, beliefs and actions in check - form habits that become my nature.

Character is the state of the soul arising from choices.
- Determining the ethical 'golden mean'
- Exploring the concept of character and its formation.
Building character through habit and experience.
- Thinking is developed through teaching, experience, and time.
- Character excellence is cultivated through habit and making good choices based on motive and the beautiful thing.
Courageous acts are done for the beautiful.
- Avoid grossly foolish acts to maintain courage.
- Building good character requires making good choices consistently.
Making good choices aligns with human nature.
- Committing vicious acts can lead to negative consequences and harm your nature.
- Making good choices leads to a happier and fulfilling life.
Aristotle's ethics emphasize balance and moderation.
- The concept of a 'golden mean' is central to Aristotle's ethics, representing the idea of finding the right balance in behavior.
- A key challenge is determining what constitutes the 'golden mean' in various actions and behaviors.
Moderation is key to building good character
- Training enough is essential to avoid exhaustion and keep up with life's demands
- Seeking the right amount in all aspects of life leads to better choices and character development
The importance of not underestimating personal growth
- Personal growth becomes easier over time, especially in a school setting.
- Choosing against personal growth consistently is detrimental to character development.
Listening to the voice of good character strengthens it
- This strengthening makes it overpower other influences
- Character building involves specific actions to achieve this
Such an excellent video! What version/translation of "Nicomachean Ethics" would you recommend the most?
The Goldilocks Argument is wisdom.
Character like compound interest, accumulates time-exponential under truth principles ("principal" in the financial scenario!), and while growth in character stays imperceptible over smaller periods of time, it is unmissable over longer durations, and perhaps most notably always assumes it maximum potential at the point of its withdrawal for whatever ulterior purpose it was accumulated.
Character is what you do when nobody is looking.
This was not the guide on D&D 5e character creation I thought it would be...
Taking the narrow way, do the most difficult first things first, things get easier...
maschallah!
How do I sign up for the course?
I'm kind of developing a habit of watching these video's. Does that make me a good person? 🤔
Why TH-cam not recommending
Every politician should be required to enroll at Hillsdale College and a yearly refresher course to maintain their position. Grade point average to determine their salary.
what a beautiful place america will be?
Oh they already know exactly what's right and what's wrong. They delight in doing what's wrong.
"What he has to say will be useful to comfortable men of weak passions... Not only is there no objection to slavery, or to the superiority of husbands and fathers over wives and children... Most men are mainly means for the production of a few rulers and sages... to a man of any depth of feeling it [Aristotle's Ethics] is likely to be repulsive." ~ Russell
you heard him listen to the voices
This is something I wanna do, I am having a hard time to create new habits, my mental state is not as tough as others, in another words I'm weak, and being a man it kinda idk makes it worse because I'm a man, I believe it had to do with my past, I was touched as a kid, other I was bully so most of my teenage years I just stayed in,gen z issues lol and now seeing how the real world works it's even tougher, it's hard it's just hard being idk good, being humble, understanding, and self control, without God dk what to do, with God is like being train to becoming a better human overall, I know this sounds someone who doesn't know the way which is true, when I hear other people opinions about this, they tell me to keep moving, ignore it oh well, your alive, your here, and yet I cant seem to fit in but I will, today going to confession and will make me feel better
Greek and roman philosophy make man expect rewards. Pure, original christianity makes man do things because they have the gifts to do so, and the reward is not in this world.
I like the Greeks most. Find the Bible so confusing & Semitic that I rely on Jordan Peterson to explain it. But tbh someone is always explaining these things to me 😂🙏
Before action there is thought. We are and become what we think.
Also, what defines good and evil? How does one know that they choose is good or bad! There must be someone who has made the rules which we abide in. Unless there are rules to follow in a game, and the player has unlimited freedom, you can become lost quite quickly. This seems to be what has happened in the west! Unlimited freedom with no rules to follow = a lost civilisation.
Did you, personally walk your child to the state.....or God at 8:00 o'clock Monday morning saying do what your teachers say is right.....when are you going to give that much time to God's creation first, maybe you should streering is adjustable
Girls like when guys faces go red. It’s cute. It means you like us and we feel flattered.
